[Ducati] NDC : Looking for mechanical design advice

[Ryan Scott Bardsley]

Hi guys,

I am hoping to pull from the collective mechanical experience on this  
list for a problem I am working on at my lab. I need to mount a 1" OD  
pressure transducer inside of a 1.5" ID pipe. I can't seem to find an  
elegant mechanical design solution that will firmly grip the  
transducer inside of the pipe within the tight space constraints that  
I have.

Has anyone seen any elegant solutions to this problem? Maybe an  
eccentric cam binding arrangement? Or something similar? I have to  
squeeze the transducer at the same time as expanding to fit inside of  
the pipe. Mechanically I am sure this has been done before... I just  
can't seem to locate and example that fits my app...

Any help or ideas where to look would be greatly appreciated. I am  
writing to this list because I see lots of examples of brilliant  
mechanical design on my Duc and parts from NCR and CycleCat that I  
thought it might be a good place to ask.

Thanks!
